HEADQUARTERS,
DEPARTMENT OE TEE Susquareetta,
Ortaxszaseceo, Ps.., Jan. 20,1864.
Tote People of the Dwitment ff . the Selquehanna:
I i c ery cordially invite the attention of all
persons within the Department of the Susque
hanna to the address recently issued. by Major
General Hancock, Commanding Second Army
Corps, in which that distinguished _officer.an
nounces that he has come to Pennsylvania,
under authority from the War Department, for
the purport() of recruiting his Corp to fiifty
thousand men, with a view to special service.
The godhintri andmilitary ability of Major
General Hancock, and.the. courage, and Wed
pline of his Corps, furve been lestid;on Many
battle fields and have jystly won the admita-
Von: of the. people. Thpse who shall enlist
under him will find comrades with whom it
will be an honor to be connected, and a leader
whose past career gives the.assurance that he
cannot fall short of the, full performance of
his duties as an officer, a soldier and a gentic
man.
Saving been associated with Major General
Hancock on many trying occasions, I heartily
commend him to the patriotism of the people
of this Department, and earnestly advise those
fit for, military duty to embrace this opportu
nity of taking a position in Which they will
gain honor and distinction ibr themselves and
render essential service to their country.
D. N. COUCH,
Maj. Gen. CM. Dep,t.
—We,are frank to oonfess that in the whole
course of the war for the Union, we have seen no
greater display of a noble spirit, and a prompt re-'
cognition of the high claims of a brother officer,
than that evinced in the letter of Mal. Gen.
Couch for Maj. Gen. Hancock. It takes us
back to the days of lofty chifalry, when the
hercasS In a common cause sunk all jealousy in
a manly effort to do: each other justice in order
that the justice of the right which they repre
sented might triumph. The people will accept
Gen. Couch's endorsement of Gin. Hancock
with honest pride.
The Amnestir Proclamation
•
We alluded yesterday to the faction spirit
with which the old tricksters who compose what
is calk& the Dereocratic State Committee, have'
again assailed the Government arid the Union.
It is a chertmatance „somewhat singular that
there are but two classes of persons, North and
South, who make open and avowed oppotition
to.the'Presldent's recant proclamation of am
nesty. And these two classes are thecopperhead
leaders of the North and the seceision leaders of
the South. In the rehel Congress at Richniend*
the.rebel leaders were so exasperated with the
proclamation that they actually perpetrated the
enormity of cursing it, and—laying it on the ta
ck! The copperhead .press of the North, in
sublime imitation of the Richmond file leaders,
tile° curse it, and—lay it tinder their-tables;
Meanwhile, kali so happens, there are thou
sandeof. Southern people daily Socking to the
standards of our Union army, and eagerly ten
deriogirtheir submission to the Government,
and the laws under,:the terms of the amnesty,
which they gladly accept as a boon, iind. which
is doing much, very much, to bring about the
ultimate disintegration of - the whole rebel
army: Now, the qnsiy concerning thismatter
is--why do the rebel leaders- and thb copper
heads unite to "curse" and oppose what all
other peisple, both North and South, are gladly
accepting as a boon to the Misguided people of
the South ? An answer may be found to this
hatred of the proclamation on the part of the
rebel leaders, in the fact that they are expressly
deprived of its conditions sad terms—bat-why
should the e,opperbeada oppose. it ! Can it be
that their "sympathy" is so.intimate and al=
rest with the Richmond rebels that . when the
rebel leaders are pinched the copPertteade
alprirm f
_We can find •no other reason for
this "sympathetic" dislike of a proglamation.
that is gladly accepted by those to whOrn it re,
dates, and is•s3.vehemently execrated by. those
- wiss have nothing whatever to do with it. Per
hapi g.r. Charles J. Biddle and his colletignei
of the Democratic State Central Comnaitte
•nnswer this question.
—lt is time that our brethren of the loyal - .
press throughout Pennsylvania accept , thelssud
fait is being made by the copperhead lenders.
Frimi what has already beemenunciated 'bY the
Democratic State . CentralCouitnittee, that issue
is to involve the safety or the destruction ot
the Government as It is now,administered, and,
as the copperhead leaders; nre opposed to the
pr€sent forms and attribeites of the National:
Govenutoint,•they of course will soot: to estab- ,
Bah fn hen thereof the authority .of J'e ff .'ba;
vis. In fact, the Democratic leaders are now
forced to one or the other alternative, either to,
accept the Government with its bards' of frete 2
dom, or take that of the slaveholders, with its
attributes of barbarity. The loyal men of the ,
laid are for the Government as it now exists
' and:hence the Democracy make issue with thii
chug.

The motion was unanimously. agreed to.
On taking the Chair, Col. Worrell merely
remarked that it was not his business to deliver
, a formal speech, notwithstanding it was'among
his most pleasing duties to meet his fellow cil
ia ms on occasions like the present, and
exchange. opinions: with them on all subjects;'
involving the highest interests of the country.
Indeed it was theduty of every man to devote a
portion of his time to his country. To meet as
we are assembled: to night,: is a slight labor in
comparison to that - which our: fellow citizens
are performing in the field, perilling • their,
lives lee defaces of our highest rights and
noblest possessions. In regard to the object of
the meeting, Col. Worrell spoke .in the most
emphatic terms. -He declared that the re-elec
tion of Abraham Lincoln had become an actual
necessity; because the attitude of the President
on all questions effecting our national safety
and prosperity, wastrel:a-as to render itdingere
ous to confide executive power to any other
man at this juncture`' Worrell did not oc-,
copy the time of the to any greet ex
tent, and merely, as, he himself declared; Set
forth its objects, after which:he introditaiVol.
Montgomery; of fdiesissippt, whom our readers
have heard on several occasions, •
Col, Montgomery said thathe acquiesced hardi
ly with the object of the meeting. He was in
favor of the re-election of Abraham Lincoln as
one of tile necessary means of vindicating thek
authority of the government. • In the South;
•Orhere. the rebellion reigned with absolute
force, many of the people, through Ignorance;
could not separatethe name of Lincoln from;
the existence of the government, arid vice versa.
Therefore to set this man Lincoln aside would to
a certain extent, injure the force of the govern
, merit in the very locality whore it was essentiar
that it should be exhibited with all its energy,
andpower. If Mr. Lincoln is re-eleeted, it will
prove eto the -- people of the South'
no* in rebellion, that there is a de
termination on the part of :the loyal men of
the North to sustain the. Government:at all
hazard's. (Jul. M. then proceeded* to speak of
the future of 'the - Staab. • He bad groat hopes
in the coming peace and prosperity of his deal
old home. All that it needed was the_hand of
steady, intelligent, compensated labor,- to make
it the garden spot of the:world, the abode of
every luxury and the .landlof every noble lour
snit. To make- the South entirely great, we
must make it perfectly free„ To develope its
vast resources,. and bring before the business
95 the world, its houudless wealth, we must
place its soil underethe cAltivation, of free
lands,.and givelterlicenee,to the adornment of
free hearts. 001. sadthattnany would,donle
less perplex themselves with the gelation as
to hot all this could beibineoetd declare In
answer to their own questions that the prejudi
ces of the people of- the South
,could never be
removed. To such as theie he would reply that
greater prejudices than those now entertained by
the Southern masses have been removed front
the hearts and the minds of the people. Feu
dalism a hundred years ago, with its barbaric
usages and potential powers, had engendered
prejudices bitterer and stronger than those in
spired by negro slavery, and yet feudalism had
been compelled to yield to civllizetion, until
the men who deemed themselves the masters
of mankind suddenly discovered that they
were scarcely the equals of their fullptianen.
Thus it - will be with the prejudices of the
South. Before the advance of civilization—
yielding to the power and the influence of the
organization of free labor, the South would
ere long awaken, from. the lethargy in
which, its energies have-, been so long
held in idle :plumber, to (lake part, with
the other Stites of the Tlnion belle race of
freedom and -civilizetion. Emigration to
the South would accomplish the greatest bene
fits the Soutbeen people ever. enjoyed. It would
stimeilate their:energies and arouse -their en
terprise. It would excite their true pride and
compel the people thereof to tiske part in the
great expedition for local improvement and
prosperity. And thus, as in the days of feudal
ism, the masters of the &Seth would awaken
to find•theenselves scarcely the equals of those
over whom they had once lorded ' .with _the
will of tyrants. .Coll. M. spoke hopefully of
the future of the South. He had faith in the
loyal sentiment which would one day show
itself in that region ; and as freedom was re
cognized among her sons, the authority of a
great free Government would also become more
powelful and more respected. As the speech
of a Southern man, the remarks of Col. Mont
gomery were listened to with great attention,
and were also freqyntly interrupted with im
mense applause. • -
Mr. Bergner offered the A:Mewing reseal-
Sons, viz :
Resolved, That the , attitude of the loyal rep,
resentatteres of the majority in the State Senate,
is alike in obedienee to their. sworn Obligations
to the Constitution, and in response to the con
victions of 'the people as to what is tight and
honorable.
lfesolval, That the sentiments in thei congrat
' ulatory letter lately ' conveyed to Ainahain
Lincoln, by the loyal men of the' Legielatute,
meek. with ear unqualified and nuauunous ap
proval. , That letter was a real response to,
the actual sentiMente of the masses of the peo
ple, and, in declaring a purpose to effect the
re-election of AbrahanalLintoin, only sets forth
in words that which the people of the Union,
at the proper time; will establish by their
'votes.
Resolved, That wercgaid the'couree of the Rep:
resenfative in Congress from the XiVih Con
gressional District with deep humiliation and
shame. His cowardly efforts to impair the
vigor of the Government—his unmanly offer
to comptilmise with tho enemies of the Union, -
and his dastardleedodges to cease° the issue
of all fair questions, deserve and herebY receive
oar disapproval. Loyal ttmen everywhere in
the XtVth CongreeeionalEdetrict, repudiate the
man who thus foully misrepresents them, aid'
hence this may' be considered as without
a representative on the floor of Congress
Col. F. K Boas offered the following as an
additional resolution : . • •
Resolved,• That the men of., the loyal Statesi

under whatever pretence or disguise, discourage
recruiting and maintaining our army, deers our

' heads make the most of them.
• All theseresolntions were endorsed with deaf-I
ning applauee and adopted unanimously by the
ardience rising and giving three cheers for
Abraham Lincoln. .
Col. A. D. Hope, of New 'Jersey, was the
next- speaker. He disclaiined all preteradoeus
as an orator, but confessed that he- felt a , great
interest in the objects of the meeting. New
Jersey would stand by_thsk.Governmerst at-all
hasenis—and to do this most effectually, she
would use her best efforts to secure the re elec t
' ben of Abraham Lincoln. Col. H. made some
practical suggestions in reference to the organ
ization of Unionleegnes. ' Whatim organized
army ia in effectiveness in'flghfing down armed
rebellion, organised Unim Leagues were in
counteracting, the influence of secret treason.:
Hence he urged the immediate' Organization of

deuced. He was glad to Meet the people of the
capital of the great State of Pennsylvania ; and

Col. Woodrnff, of New Jersey, then sung the
